Le résumé fourni par la source
We present the results of a ∼250 arcmin 2 mapping of the 205 μm [N ii ] fine-structure emission over the northern Carina Nebula, including the Car I and Car II H ii regions. Spectra were obtained using the South Pole Imaging Fabry-Perot Interferometer (SPIFI) at the Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO) at the South Pole. We supplement the 205 μm data with new reductions of far-IR fine-structure spectra from the Infrared Space Observatory ( ISO ) Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) in 63 μm [O i ], 122 μm [N ii ], 146 μm [O i ], and 158 μm [C ii ]; the 146 μm [O i ] data include 90 raster positions which have not been previously published. Morphological comparisons are made with optical, radio continuum, and CO maps. The 122/205 line ratio is used to probe the density of the low-ionization gas, and the 158/205 line ratio is used to probe the fraction of C + arising from photodissociation regions (PDRs). The [O i ] and [C ii ] lines are used to construct a PDR model of Carina. When the PDR properties are compared with other sources, Carina is found to be more akin to 30 Doradus than galactic star-forming regions such as Orion, M17, or W49; this is consistent with the view of Carina as a more evolved region, where much of the parent molecular cloud has been ionized or swept away. These data constitute the first ground-based detection of the 205 μm [N ii ] line, and the third detection overall since those of COBE FIRAS and the Kuiper Airborne Observatory in the early 1990s.
